​We’ve enjoyed celebrating milestones throughout October at The Dansko Blog! To wrap up this celebration of our many achievements – and our 25th Anniversary – Dansko salutes two groups who championed us from the start and continue to support to this day: medical professionals and educators.

​We love recounting our origin story, but we also love hearing your Dansko discovery stories. Listening to longstanding and recent Dansko fans tell us about their first encounters with our shoes is always enjoyable. Although these stories are individually unique, there are plenty that do share a similar trait: the recommendations of friends and family.

​When Dansko hit the footwear scene, medical pros and educators were among the first to discover the all-day comfort and support that our shoes provide. These professionals became instant fans who quickly spread the word about our shoes to their coworkers, family and friends. Their passion helped Dansko grow into the successful company that it is today. For that, Dansko is eternally grateful to these two professional groups for their enthusiastic loyalty.

​As part of our 25th anniversary celebration, we wanted to thank these two exceptional professional groups for their continued support of Dansko by surprising them with the gift of free shoes.

​Meeting these devoted Dansko fans was a wonderful experience made all the better by seeing their smiling faces as we presented them with new pairs of their favorite shoes.

​From everyone at Dansko, we wish the very best for educators and medical pros everywhere. They truly help make the world a better place.
